The Danhausen Curse: Will it Haunt the Kansas City Chiefs in the 2026 NFL Season?
WWE superstar Danhausen has been using his unique 'curse' gimmick to affect NFL teams recently. After successfully uncursing the New York Knicks, who went on to win the NBA Finals, he decided to curse the Kansas City Chiefs, referring to them as the 'Taylor Swift team'. In a video from the 'Fanatics Fest: All Access', Danhausen interacted with fans and chose which NFL teams to curse and uncurse. While some teams were uncursed, like the Green Bay Packers, the Chiefs were not so fortunate. With a disappointing 6-11 record in the 2025 NFL regular season, the Chiefs missed the playoffs after appearing in the previous three Super Bowls. As they gear up for the upcoming season, all eyes are on Travis Kelce and the team's performance. The Chiefs' pre-season kicks off on August 15, with their NFL campaign starting on September 14 against the Denver Broncos. It remains to be seen if the Danhausen curse will have any impact on the team's fortunes in the months ahead.
